Best Authentic Restaurants in San Ysidro

The ambience was perfect for date night. The cocktails were delicious, specifically the Italian margarita. It was a busy Saturday. Our server was very friendly, however It took 20 min for us to be noticed. Had to ask for things multiple times and it took a long while for our food to come out. Will try again on weeknight. The food was great.

Started out stressful. Neither Valet ran out of parking. Open parking was full. Finally parked behind other cars. We had confirmed reservations, but we told there wasn't any parking. Server was EXCELLENT. Medium rare felet was well done on half and rare on the other half. They sliced the felet like a London Broil. The chef could have seen that the felet was not cooked correctly.

We celebrated our anniversary there. A note from the staff welcoming us was on our table when we were seated. Sean, our server, was prompt, professional and able to answer every question we had about entrees, sides, and cocktails. The food, as always, was up to Tardif's high standards. We asked for salt for our risotto, and a manager and Chef Tardif both stopped by the table to apologize, although no apology was needed. We shared my personal favorite, Escargots, which were perfect as always. My Short Rib Risotto was delicious as was my wife's Lobster Wellington. The restaurant was full as it was two days before Valentine's Day, and here's hoping the restaurant continues to be successful as it is much needed in the NW San Antonio/Boerne area. We will be back often.

The night we went it wasn’t too busy, but apparently they were very shortstaffed. We had one waiter and he was great, but it was obvious he was the only waiter and very busy. The ambience was nice. The food was great and I really have no complaints. We’ll have to give them a try again during the summer when it is nicer out. It was cold and rainy on this particular day.

The staff was super friendly. I had breakfast and dinner there and the food was delicious!
